It's been four years now since Paul Shaffer played his final gig as David Letterman's bandleader — but the music hasn't stopped.

The Grammy-winning keyboardist made a new album with his World's Most Dangerous Band, toured the U.S. (and played the Ryman) and now hosts a show on SiriusXM.

This fall, he'll return to Nashville to host the 2019 Musicians Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and Concert, taking place Oct. 22 at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center.

This year's inductees into the Nashville-based Hall of Fame include country giants Alabama, Don Everly of The Everly Brothers, acclaimed singer/songwriter/guitarist Steve Wariner and Rascals vocalist/keyboardist Felix Cavaliere, plus surf group The Surfaris and more than a dozen studio heroes from Nashville and Muscle Shoals, Ala.

As past years indicate, you can expect many of the surviving inductees to perform live, along with other artists who'll pay tribute. The Hall of Fame says performers will be revealed in the coming weeks.
